Building Confidence

May 24, 2023

Hi, I am fairly new to Storyline but I wondered if it was possible to build in a question about confidence? 

Many of our learners, have little/no knowledge of what we teach them, so I would like to ask how confident they feel on the subject at the start and end of the e-learning. Is there anyway to capture their answer at the start of the lesson and then when we ask the question again, their previous answer comes up so they can compare how they now feel about the topic? 

For example; you say you have 2/5 confidence in maths but at the end you mark yourself as 4/5. Can we visually see both 2/5 and 4/5 ? 

Any ideas welcome.

Use Survey question slides to ask about their confidence. The Likert scale would work well for this. 

You'll also need to include a Survey Results slide, which has the triggers to send the survey info to the LMS. But you can make that look however you want (that is, the user never needs to know it's a Survey Results slide).

If you just want to know their confidence level at the end, you could use the same Survey question slide. But if you want to know how confident they were at the beginning and how confident they are at the end, you need to use 2 separate Survey questions. 

You can use a single Survey Results slide at the end of the course to submit all survey responses to the LMS. (You'll have to work with your LMS folks for how you get that info.)

Thanks, I have inserted a Likert scale but I can't seem to get the results page to show the first and second survey together on screen. I would like to be able to compare the results, rather than just have a 'well done' appear. I can see learners can click on the review button, but it only reviews one survey and then the other. Can we see them both together on screen at the same time?

No, the built-in functionality only "reviews" the survey question slides individually. 

It's possible to build custom survey slides that can be tracked with variables within the course (for example: TIP: Track Responses to Custom Questions or Surveys - Articulate Storyline Discussions - E-Learning Heroes ). But those results wouldn't be sent to the LMS. (At least, not without even more programming to put those results into built-in survey slides... Or using JavaScript...)
